Chapter 45: Another Debunking
But Zhao Zhifang had just had a fight with her biological mother, and her face was a little dark.
"What's up?"
Yan Sui politely said, "I'm looking for Grandma Zhao."
Zhao Zhifang rolled her eyes. "It's the same if you talk to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Lady Zhao came out.
Upon seeing Yan Sui, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Sui Sui, is something the matter?"
Yan Sui hurriedly said, "Grandma Zhao, I picked some green vegetables and brought them to you."
"Oh, I was just saying your vegetables are growing well. Wait here, I'll come out with the basket."
"good."
Seeing Old Lady Zhao's appearance, Zhao Zhifang felt very uncomfortable.
She's never been this affectionate with her own daughter.
"It's just a vegetable. I thought it was something valuable that made you so happy."
Old Mrs. Zhao snorted, "I'm happy to see Yan Sui, what's it to you?"
She hadn't told Zhao Zhifang about her work at Yan Sui Orchard yet.
At this age, she had given up hope for her only daughter.
If she finds out, she'll probably start worrying about my few thousand yuan salary.
"Yan Sui, thank you. I'll send you some cucumber seedlings later."
"Okay, then I don't need to go to town to buy it."
Grandma Zhao watched Yan Sui leave before turning to look at Zhao Zhifang.
"I won't keep you for dinner, you can go back now."
Zhao Zhifang said with dissatisfaction, "I still have something to say to you."
"Let's not talk about it anymore, I don't want to hear it."
"Why are you always like this! You only have one daughter, and this house will be mine sooner or later, right? If we sell this house, our family can buy a bigger house in a better location, and then I'll bring you to live with us."
The house Zhao Zhifang was referring to is the one she, her husband, and their child currently live in.
The house was bought by Old Mrs. Zhao, so naturally it's registered in her name.
Her husband often complained to her about this, saying that his own mother was wary of her.
Over time, Zhao Zhifang also developed some dissatisfaction with Old Lady Zhao.
If she truly loves me, I should transfer the house to her.
"Buy a bigger one again? You're dreaming! Where else can you buy a bigger one after selling this house?"
Grandma Zhao isn't blind or deaf; she reads the news, goes online, and knows about current housing prices in Yancheng.
Zhao Zhifang retorted, "Of course we can't buy it with the full amount, but the down payment is enough!"
"You can sell the house and buy a new one. The new house will be jointly owned by you and your husband, and Li Jie will also have a share! His wishful thinking is so outrageous, it's like he's trying to slap me in the face!"
Zhao Zhifang felt a chill run down her spine. "Mom, I'm your own daughter, how can you be so wary of me?"
Old Mrs. Zhao coldly turned her face away, "I'm not guarding against you, I'm guarding against Li Jie! I told you when you got married that I would transfer the house to you in five years, but only if Li Jie was reliable."
But from the moment he tore up the prenuptial agreement, she saw Li Jie's true colors and realized how foolish Zhao Zhifang was.
She never hid the fact that she didn't trust Li Jie.
Zhao Zhifang was furious. "He just wants his son to take his surname. It's not a big deal. Why are you making such a fuss about it, Mom?"
“If he had such thoughts, he shouldn’t have lied to me when he married you! And he shouldn’t have taken my money, signed the agreement, and then tried to coax you into backing out! Zhao Zhifang, give up on that idea. I won’t sell the house, and I certainly won’t transfer it to you!”
Old Mrs. Zhao was adamant and didn't give Zhao Zhifang a chance to speak at all, directly kicking her out.
The mother and daughter had a fight, and even the next day people were still talking about it, criticizing Old Lady Zhao for being heartless.
Yan Sui hadn't gotten up yet; the sun was already shining on her bottom.
The quiet room was suddenly filled with urgent ringing. Yan Sui rolled around in bed wrapped in the blanket a couple of times before answering the phone.
"Jiang Yeling, you'd better have something urgent to attend to."
"Go online and check, your ex-sister-in-law is causing trouble again!"
Yan Sui was taken aback, "You Min?"
"I have to rush to my next scene, I don't have time to talk to you anymore, you should hurry up and take a look."
He hung up after finishing the call.
Yan Sui was speechless. This was happening every single day.
She opened the app and found You Min's account.
After the last exposé, her video account successfully surpassed 100,000 views, and now it's almost 200,000.
Yan Sui clicked on the video that was ranked first.
In the video, You Min is holding a jar of peach gum. "Hello everyone, some fans messaged me privately before, asking me to expose the fake Yan Sui peach gum. Now I've finally bought some! Let me show you whether this peach gum, which costs 80 yuan per jin, is worth the price."
She also attached the purchase order to show that the jar of peach gum was indeed purchased from Yan Sui's shop.
However, the peach gum that was poured out was black in color and contained visible impurities, indicating that its quality was extremely poor.
Yan Sui could tell at a glance that this was definitely not peach gum purchased from her shop.
She immediately took screenshots and screen recordings to save the evidence.
Opening the comments section reveals an even more chaotic and unpleasant atmosphere.
[They dare to sell this kind of garbage for 80 yuan a pound? Are they crazy for money?]
I was actually thinking of buying it after seeing Orange's recommendation, but thankfully a blogger debunked it.
[Are you guys still paying attention to Orange? Has no one noticed that she's a die-hard fan of Yan Sui? She blindly praises her stuff.]
[Seriously, isn't anyone doing anything about Yan Sui selling this kind of low-quality junk?]
[Her homepage also features a quality inspection report for peach gum, which I'd guess is fake.]
[...]
Even Yan Sen, who had been quiet for a while, has started acting up again.
Using the criticism of Yan Sui to gain attention has always been one of his usual tactics.
Yan Sui took screenshots of all the inflammatory and offensive remarks and sent them to Attorney Fang.
Attorney Fang: [Received. The number of likes and shares has reached the threshold for filing a case. I suggest you report it to the police and explicitly request that a case be filed. I will prepare for the lawsuit.]
Yan Sui listened to him and immediately called the police. Even the wording was taught to her word by word by Attorney Fang.
Professionals should handle professional matters, and Yan Sui received the case filing notice on the same day.
The police retrieved You Min's information from the platform and summoned her for questioning.
Because Yan Sui already has a lot of popularity, You Min wanted to use her to gain more followers and traffic, and the related hashtag has already gone viral.
The greater the popularity and the wider the impact, the heavier the consequences You Min will have to bear.
Yan Sui only responded to her video with three sentences.
She has never bought anything from my store. I have already reported the case to the police and will pursue it to the end.
The video responding to You Min went viral, but most of the comments were negative.
Yan Sui had been criticized so much that seeing these comments was like a light drizzle falling on her.
She actually cares more about dragging others down with her.
The moment You Min posted the video, "Orange Can't Get Enough" came out to defend her, as her account had already been flooded with trolls.
But that didn't stop her from wanting to protect herself, and she fought fiercely with the haters in the comments section.
Yan Sui was genuinely touched. Apart from a private chat during the last lottery draw, she and Chengzi had no further interaction.
Yet she was able to defend herself without hesitation, how could Yan Sui not be moved?
She thought that she would definitely thank Orange properly after this matter was over.
I received a call from Officer Yu in no time, saying that there had been progress in the case.
You Min was spoiled by her family since childhood, and was somewhat arrogant, but also very timid.
She was stunned when she received the summons call, and after being questioned, she confessed everything.
Her jar of peach gum wasn't bought from Yan Sui, but it came from the same orchard as the peach gum Yan Sui sold.
"The peach gum was given to her by Yan Liang. You should be familiar with him, right?"
